WORKOUT SHOES - WHAT TO LOOK FOR / WHERE TO BUY FROM

 

I was recently on the hunt for a new pair of training shoes because the New Balance ones I has previously weren't giving me the support I needed. After scrolling through endless Pinterest worthy sneakers, I decided to not go by colour and design like I normally would and try on as many pairs as I could to decide which ones actually FIT nicely.

 

What to look for in workout shoes

So here is what to look or in your new workout shoes and the questions you should be asking yourself;

- Do these give the arch of my foot enough support or do I feel a strain in my arch? If so, look for a shoe with more support.

- Are these too narrow and are pinching my foot? If so, the shape of the shoe is not for you and keep looking.

- Is there a bit of room left at the top or are my toes being squished in? If they are too tight, go up in size.

 

Where to buy workout shoes from

I finally came across my perfect pair (pictured above), and it was a bonus that they were super cute and would match any workout outfit that I put them with.

 

From my experience this time around I can say I have developed a few favourite brands for workout shoes. They are; Nike, New Balance and Adidas. So I guess the three big ones, but there is a reason they are so popular and that is the quality is fantastic. For a large selection of all three brands; check out a store such as Rebel Sports or Amart All Sports.

 

Trust me, they are definitely worth investing in because those $12 ones from Rubi Shoes are not going to cut it and you will regret it when you are mid exercise and start feeling the pain in your feet.

VEGAN BANANA KALE SMOOTHIE

This protein packed smoothie tastes like a chocolate milkshake, despite being completely vegan and also including kale.

 

It's a fool-proof way of cramming in a bunch of vitamins and minerals without having to sacrifice taste. It's the perfect breakfast or a great snack for in between meals.

 

Ingredients

1 Frozen Banana

1 Handful of Kale

1 Tbsp LSA

Dash of Soy Milk

Chocolate Protein

 

Yep you guessed it, just throw all the above ingredients into whatever blender you have, I use a Sunbeam blender on the go.

 

It goes without saying that all of these ingredients can be substituted. Use almond or coconut milk if you don't like soy. Use maca or acai instead of LSA...it's completely up to you. The reason I find this combination so delicious is that the chocolate protein and banana make it extremely sweet, disguising the taste of kale.
